Is there a software alternative to Mac OS X built in internet sharing services?
How to troubleshoot problems sharing internet connection via WiFi on Mac OS X

Me and my wife both have MacBooks (one regular, one MackBook Pro). We're staying in temporary accommodation with no internet so we got one of those mobile broadband USB dongles. We only have one (dongle) and were just wondering if there was anyway we can share the internet connection between the two MacBooks.

Thanks in advance.
